Despite having read well over a thousand books on many different topics, I realised this morning that I haven't even touched on some of the most important ones.

Books with main characters that are black.

As a child, my parents bought me plenty of books about black children. Little girls with big afros and chocolate skin.

But, as a teen, I realised I haven't read a single book where the main character is a black person. Chinese yes, Indian yes, but not black. And as a mixed girl, that is actually a problem.

So!

Do you guys have any recommendations for teen fiction or YA books about or by black people?
